Basalt—with its exceptional hardness (Mohs 6–7), high compressive strength (>300MPa), and wear resistance—is a top choice for high-performance construction aggregates (road bases, bridge concrete, airport runways). But processing basalt into uniform, cubical aggregates at scale (300 TPH) demands a robust primary crusher. The Primary Impact Crusher CI1316 stands out as the workhorse for 300 TPH basalt plants, combining high throughput, durable design, and excellent particle shaping. This blog explores why the impact crusher CI1316 is the ideal primary crusher for basalt, its key features, and how it integrates into a 300 TPH production line.
About Primary Impact Crusher CI1316
The primary impact crusher CI1316 is a large-scale horizontal impact crusher designed for primary crushing of hard, abrasive materials like basalt. Key specs for 300 TPH basalt plants:
• Capacity: 280–350 TPH (perfectly matched to 300 TPH plant targets).
• Feed Opening: 1300×1600mm (handles basalt boulders up to 800mm—common in quarries).
• Power: 220kW dual motors (delivers enough torque to break hard basalt without stalling).
• Output Size: Adjustable from 50–150mm (ideal for feeding secondary crushers in a 300 TPH line).
• Its core working principle: High-speed rotating impellers (1000–1200 RPM) fling basalt boulders against heavy-duty impact plates. The impact shatters basalt into smaller, cubical fragments—no compressive force that risks flaky particles or excessive wear.
Key Features of CI1316 for Basalt Crushing
1. Robust Design and High Capacity
• With a large feed opening and heavy-duty rotor, the CI1316 is built to accept large basalt feed sizes and reduce them efficiently at a rate of up to 300 tons per hour, making it ideal for medium to large-scale aggregate operations.
2. Superior Product Quality
• The crusher utilizes a high-impact force to shatter rock along its natural fissures, resulting in a well-shaped, cubical product with minimal flaky or elongated particles. This is crucial for meeting strict aggregate specifications for construction projects.
3. Wear Part Longevity and Easy Maintenance
• Basalt is highly abrasive. The CI1316 addresses this with:
• Easy-to-replace wear parts: Hammers, breaker plates, and liners are designed for quick change-out, minimizing downtime.
• Reversible Rotor: Extends service life by allowing rotation of hammers for maximum utilization.
• Hydraulic adjustment of the crushing gap allows for quick and precise control over product size without stopping the machine.
Integrating Impact Crusher CI1316 into a 300 TPH Basalt Plant
A typical production line would flow as follows:
1. Feeding: A vibrating grizzly feeder removes fines and evenly feeds large basalt boulders (e.g., up to 800-1000mm) into the CI1316 crusher.
2. Primary Crushing: The CI1316 Impact Crusher performs the first reduction, breaking down the rock to a manageable size (e.g., <150mm).
3. Secondary and Tertiary Crushing: The output from the CI1316 is then sent to cone crushers for further reduction and final shaping to meet specific product gradations (e.g., 3/4", 3/8", manufactured sand).
4. Screening: Multiple vibrating screens classify the crushed material into various aggregate sizes. Oversized material is recirculated back to the appropriate crusher.
5. Conveying: A network of belt conveyors efficiently moves material between each stage of the process.
In this setup, the CI1316 serves as the workhorse, setting the stage for downstream equipment by providing a consistent and well-sized feed.
For operators investing in a 300 TPH basalt aggregate production plant, the choice of primary crusher is a foundational decision. The CI1316 Primary Impact Crusher offers a powerful, efficient, and reliable solution that not only meets the high-capacity demand but also ensures the production of premium-quality aggregates. Its focus on product shape, wear management, and integration capabilities makes it a smart investment for building a profitable and sustainable aggregate operation.

People Also Frequently Asked For- FAQ
What is better jaw or impact crusher?
An impact crusher can crush hard materials while a jaw crusher can crush brittle ones. A jaw crusher is suitable to use for harder rocks such as granite, basalt, ores, and concrete. On the other hand, an impact crusher will work best with clay, limestone, coal, dolomite, and other medium-hardness materials.
Is hammer crusher same as impact crusher?
Stone hammer crushers are typically used for processing softer materials, such as limestone and gypsum, while impact crushers are often used for processing harder materials, such as granite and basalt. Impact crushers are also commonly used in the recycling industry for processing concrete and asphalt.
What are the different types of impact crushers?
Impact crushers are traditionally classified to two main types: horizontal shaft impact (HSI) crushers and vertical shaft impact (VSI) crushers.
What size impact crushers are there?
In general, impact crushers can produce sizes ranging from 40 mm to 350 mm. The final product size can be adjusted by changing the rotor speed, adjusting the gap between the impact plates, and changing the blow bar design.
